Match Forms

Match Forms collect (and later analyze) any data on match day, either from the clubs or from the allocated match official.

Match Forms are customized role-specific match reports that the tenant-level Superuser can fully manage via the COMET Admin app. Match Forms will be applied to reports such as the Delegate Report, Media Officer Report, Security Officer Report, and similar reports that are prone to change or have different requirements based on the competition level or the association organizing the competition. In some cases, new reporting requirements are introduced, new versions of the reports are required, or only minor modifications of the existing forms are required.

Any level of changes mentioned above is fully supported by this functionality in COMET, and more importantly, it offers the following key improvements:

• fully managed via the COMET Admin app

• capable of “remembering” the version of the report that was used at the moment when it was filled

• available for input by match officials via the COMET Mobile apps or via the COMET Web interface

• reporting is immediately available via COMET Data reports (for authorized users)

The COMET Admin App has the configuration features that enable Superusers to create any match form. In other words, from the Match Forms menu in the Admin app, you can create and alter any match form on your own. This means you create and define questions, assign the match form to the specific competition type (if not applicable to all competitions), and set the restrictions/authorizations for user roles.

To access the Match Forms menu:

• Access the Admin App:

  • by adding /appadmin to your COMET homepage address, for example, comet.concacaf.com/appadmin or comet.irishfa.com/appadmin, OR

  • by clicking on your profile avatar in the upper right corner and selecting “Administration.”

• Select Competition → Match Forms on the left nav-bar and expand the section

  • Forms

  • Questions

  • Groups

  • Templates

Match Forms configuration is entirely done via the Admin app. Each Match Form consists of a list of Questions, which can be grouped under separate sections or Groups. Groups are not required, but in some cases, they help organize or present the questions in thematic, logical sub-sections.

Created questions and question groups can be used to build Match Form Templates. Templates are versions of match forms with a specific list of questions and question groups stored in the system and can be (re)used to create new Match Forms. Templates are not required, but in some cases, they can help create multiple similar versions of the same form.
